Chimney Cleaning & Inspection Services
Keep your fireplace safe with an annual sweep and a thorough professional inspection.
Is it time for a chimney sweep and inspection?
A chimney inspection should be performed annually. Safety guidelines set by the National Fire Protection Association call for annual professional inspections of all wood or coal stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, chimney connectors, and other solid-fueled heating equipment.
Reasons to schedule an inspection
- • You are unsure when the chimney was last cleaned and inspected
- • The fireplace has not been used for a substantial amount of time
- • You recently purchased your home and are unsure of its history
How is a chimney sweep performed?
Specialized brushes are used to remove creosote and soot from the firebox, smoke shelf, elbows, and connector pipes. This is done from both outside and inside the house.
Occasionally there is creosote buildup that cannot be removed by brushing. Professional chimney sweeps may use chemicals to alter the composition of the hardened creosote and turn it into a powdery substance that can be easily removed. Chimney Sweep Master guarantees a dust-free cleaning every time.
